The basic reproduction number for infection dynamics models and the global stability of stationary points

We consider a system of ordinary differential equations representing a large class of mathematical models concerning the dynamics of an infection in an organism or in a population and we show that the study of the linearized stability leads to some conditions on the basic reproduction number which…

A Scientifc Computing Environment for Differential Field Simulation

This paper deals with the development of a scientific computing environment for differential field simulation. We mean a modelling and simulation environment based on partial differential equations and their numerical solution as powerful and widely used technique for mathematical and computational…

Emulating complex simulations by machine learning methods

Background: The aim of the present paper is to construct an emulator of a complex biological system simulator using a machine learning approach. More specifically, the simulator is a patient-specific model that integrates metabolic, nutritional, and lifestyle data to predict the metabolic and…

Highly optimized simulations on single- and multi-GPU systems of the 3D Ising spin glass model

We present a highly optimized implementation of a Monte Carlo (MC) simulator for the three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model with bimodal disorder, i.e.; the 3D Edwards-Anderson model running on CUDA enabled GPUs. Multi-GPU systems exchange data by means of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The…

Hybrid optimal control: case study of a car with gears

Si dimostra come applicare il Principio di Massimo Ibrido e il Principio Necessario Ibrido ad un sistema di controllo che modellizza una macchina con marce.

Cyber risk quantification: Investigating the role of cyber value at risk

The aim of this paper is to deepen the application of value at risk in the cyber domain, with particular attention to its potential role in security investment valuation. Cyber risk is a fundamental component of the overall risk faced by any organization. In order to plan the size of security…

Merging GPS and Atmospherically Corrected InSAR Data to Map 3-D Terrain Displacement Velocity

A method to derive accurate spatially dense maps of 3-D terrain displacement velocity is presented. It is based on the merging of terrain displacement velocities estimated by time series of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data acquired along ascending and descending orbits and…

Scientific Computing Knowledge Dissemination and Training in EUA4X (European Project - European Atelier for Engineering and Computational Sciences 2005-2007)

In this paper we will focus on knowledge dissemination and training on Numerical Grid Generation (NGG) and Computational Field Simulation (CFS) carried out by classroom and online combined strategies. We update presentation of activities and events of the European Atelier for Engineering and…

Finite-difference lattice Boltzmann model with flux limiters for liquid-vapor systems

In this paper we apply a finite difference lattice Boltzmann model to study the phase separation in a two-dimensional liquid-vapor system. Spurious numerical effects in macroscopic equations are discussed and an appropriate numerical scheme involving flux limiter techniques is proposed to minimize…
